Highly Recommended! I had a great experience with Harry, from start to finish. Communication was excellent – he kept me informed throughout, explained all the details clearly, and made sure I was happy at every stage. He supplied and fitted an interior bedroom door upstairs, including hinges, handle, and lock, and did so to a very high standard. The alignment and finish of the door were spot on, and everything works perfectly. All of this was done at a fair and reasonable price.
